Live Rewind can convert the previous 15 seconds of conversation into text, while Siri Recap organizes conversation content in the form of titles and bullet points. The two features apply to Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, require pairing with an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence, and initially support only English. Apple says the features do not identify speakers and do not save raw audio, and unsaved summaries will be deleted after 7 days.

Apple Watch's two AI features enter testing, can rewind 15 seconds of conversation and automatically generate summaries Phoenix Tech Download the app for exclusive early access November 03, 2026 21:10:34 From Beijing
Phoenix Tech News (Editor/Song Shumei) On November 3, according to TechCrunch, Apple has begun testing Apple Watch audio intelligence features for developers, among which Live Rewind can convert the previous 15 seconds of conversation into text, while Siri Recap can automatically extract the key points of a conversation. The related features apply to Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4, and require pairing with an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence.
Users can double-tap the Digital Crown to invoke Live Rewind and view content they just missed, and can also continue asking Siri questions or save the text to the Siri app. When the feature starts, the watch plays a prompt sound and displays an animation and microphone icon; if a text snippet is not saved, it will be automatically deleted after a short time.
Siri Recap does not generate a verbatim record, but instead organizes the conversation content in the form of headings and key points. Apple says the feature does not identify speakers and does not save the original audio; summaries that are not actively saved will be deleted after 7 days. The two features initially support only English and will later enter the public testing phase.
